Looking into difficulties and challenges amid intensive and extensive integration, he stressed that the Resolution set the target of having 2,500 more firms and cooperatives, nearly 5,000 effective companies and cooperatives during the 2021-2025 period, nearly doubling from that in 2020. The State budget revenue is expected to reach 10 trillion VND by 2025.
